¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(A)“Go into all the world and ^(B)proclaim the gospel to ^(C)the whole creation. ^16 (D)Whoever believes and is ^(E)baptized ^(F)will be saved, but ^(G)whoever ^(H)does not believe will be condemned.

³ and ^(A)at the proper time manifested in his word^{[a] (B)}through the preaching ^(C)with which I have been entrusted ^(D)by the command of God our Savior;

^17 (A)delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—^(B)to whom I ^(C)am sending you ^18 (D)to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from ^(E)the power of Satan to God, that they may receive ^(F)forgiveness of sins and ^(G)a place among those who are sanctified ^(H)by faith in me.’

¹⁷ But ^(A)the Lord stood by me and ^(B)strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and ^(C)all the Gentiles might hear it. So ^(D)I was rescued ^(E)from the lion's mouth.
